Always Extended

"We
all face adversity. We all have temptations. We all have made mistakes.
It is never too hard or too late to make correct choices. Repentance is
one of those critical correct choices.

President Dieter F. Uchtdorf has taught:

'Small errors and minor drifts away from the doctrine of the gospel of Jesus Christ
can bring sorrowful consequences into our lives. It is therefore of
critical importance that we become self-disciplined enough to make early
and decisive corrections to get back on the right track and not wait or
hope that errors will somehow correct themselves.

'The
longer we delay corrective action, the larger the needed changes
become, and the longer it takes to get back on the correct course—even
to the point where a disaster might be looming.'

The Savior’s arms of mercy are always extended to each of us.When we sincerely and fully repent, we can be completely forgiven of
our mistakes and the Savior will remember our sins no more."

I loved his parable of "keeping your spiritual credit paid off" and hearing his testimony of our merciful Savior who is just and kind. I know my Savior, Jesus Christ, lives! He is my ultimate best friend!
